Speed Work.

With all the distance type running I've been doing I've noticed that I've gotten slower. I need to pick it up a notch, especially if I want to start racing again. Not only to keep my speed, but to shock my body. I've been doing the same running workouts for a long time and speed work tears you up! (In a good way of course). It hurts, its uncomfortable, it sucks...even more of a reason that I need to do it.

I love this article "Speedwork for every runner," that Denise from Run DMT shared with us on twitter. Its a great article for beginners and advanced runners. It explains the different types of speed work and gives you tons of different speed workouts to do. One of the these types of workouts I swear by are fartleks! They're awesome. Give it a read!

About Me

I've decided to start this “Momo Runner” blog both because of my passion for running and what I see so many of us going through on a daily basis. We work so hard to be incredible mothers and wives, yet forget how to take care of ourselves. We forget that health and fitness not only makes us feel better, but also gives us the stamina to really be a part of the lives of our loved ones.
I enjoy everything running does for me, which makes me want to share my experiences with others. I plan to talk with fellow moms who also struggle to get their workouts in. Motivate each other and cheer each other on. I'd love to share workout tips, great articles I find helpful or interesting, healthy recipes, the newest and cutest workout gear, and pretty much my sweat, tears, and success!
Also, from time to time the hubby will be writing guest posts for some different perspective. He was a high school CIF pole vault champ and State Finalist, NCAA National college pole vault qualifier, coached college track for 5 years, and is still an all around work out nut. He has some great things to contribute, so keep an eye out for his comments.
